It was clean, well equipped and we even accidentally ended up having an extra bed in the lounge which was nice because it meant we had two rooms for three people rather than all in one. The staff was super friendly and the location was 30min from lake Tekapo.

We loved our stay with Tony and Julie! The setting was lovely and the farm tour very interesting and informative. The dark night sky made for exceptional constellation viewing. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed! Having a hot tub helped relax us after hours of travel. We'll be back and highly recommend it!

Lovely little town away from tourist spots and really good value. Couple of pubs to eat at and a chinese and bakery and supermarket. We used it as a place to have a quiet day before going to Christchurch. Turned out much better than expected and after some rain it was beautiful to see all the snow covered mountains around the town.

Fairlie is a very small village with the main attractions being the alpaca farm (nice for families) and the local pie bakery, which has been hyped in social media. We found the pies being not above average, we had better ones in most places. The best thing about Fairlie was the Fairlie Holiday Park and its comfy rooms.

Fairlie is a cute town that is close to many other places such as Lake Tekapo and Timaru. It has a number of good shops and nice restaurants. When my partner and I came to stay we went to a restaurant called Carnegies and it does quite tasty pizzas. Fairlie Bakehouse is also a good place to stop by but be careful going at lunch time as it was extremely busy when we went at 12pm. We enjoyed reading the little info stands telling you about the history of Fairlie. There's also a place you can stay at (Rollesby accommodation) that has hot tubs, so lovely. Overall, would visit Fairlie again!

My mum and I had an amazing stay - it completely exceeded our expectations - we were arriving late and Erin prepared the apartment for us beautifully and even put the electric fireplace heater on - it was so cosy in there! We wish we could have stayed longer than one night. Beautiful location, great value for money, there’s everything you might need. Thank you Erin!

It is a nice little town with its own character. Travelled here from Lake Tekapo before leaving for Christchurch the next day so did not have much time to explore. The Mackenzie Motels were exceptional and the Fairlie Bakehouse was really lovely too. Really enjoyed my short stay here.

Fairlie is a small town, in the McKenzie Country.
Fairlie is a small town, in the McKenzie Country. Short drives to Tekapo, Geraldine or Timaru. Very safe and friendly town with all facilities. Good eating places, swimming pool, playgrounds and facilities. Great for a family holiday, relaxing or exploring. Most of your stay, your car won't be needed, just walk around !!
Based on the photographs provided our expectations were low. In th event they were far exceeded, because the motel is new, well-finished, very well equipped and sparkling clean For example, the quality of bed linen and mattress was far above what one might expect at this price point.
One has to be realistic: Fairlie is a tiny town a long way from anywhere in the high MacKenzie country. Finding something as good in those circumstances was a real bonus, thank you and well done.
Incredible value for money. Very comfortable bed in a clean little cabin. Basic but with everything you need really - a heater, toaster and kettle were provided. Toilets were right next to the cabins which was ideal, and were reserved for cabin guests only which was much appreciated as they were never busy. Fairlie is a lovely little village, and situated nicely for a day trip to Lake Tekapo (30min drive). Thank you!
The old forge is a very old house in quiet Fairlie. The old house has its charme and you can feel the time the house has already been here. There are lots of things to explore in the house. The records and the fire place really are gorgeous. Also it is not far away from Lake Tekapo.
You also has to understand that it is an old house and so everything is askew and the wooden floor creaks. I really liked it!
I loved the ambiance. It's an old hotel, some would say needs updating etc however I loved the original features and un updated feel it had. It was clean and comfortable and friendly. Loved the local bar and food was good. We were allowed our dog. We had a king room with doors that opened to outside balcony so that was handy. Park across the road to walk her.
The hotel was located really close to the town center. It was located off of the highway so the road was fairly safe. The room was warm and tidy when we arrived. There was a parking spot right outside the unit which was very convenient. The end of the driveway by the reception was fairly large to it was easy to turn there.
I stayed in multiple camp sites during a bike tour in the Nth Island this summer but this last minute booking while down south beats all of them for value for money. Awesome standard of facilities & exceedingly friendly & helpful staff. I'll definitely be back when I am in Fairlie again.
Operating since 1865, the Gladstone Hotel is an historic Hotel with much charm set in a small town. Pub and restaurant downstairs and quiet rooms upstairs. The host Karen was wonderful. Rooms are perfect for one person. I had no complaints especially the price for staying there.
Superb warm welcome. Our apartment was extremely spacious, with some lovely personal touches e.g. fresh flowers. Very convenient walk to the middle of Fairlie with supermarket, shops and restaurants. Car parking facilities were excellent. Offers excellent value for money
It was clean, well equipped and we even accidentally ended up having an extra bed in the lounge which was nice because it meant we had two rooms for three people rather than all in one. The staff was super friendly and the location was 30min from lake Tekapo.
Easy check in process, easy to park, pretty campsite with lots of trees, easy access to toliets, showers and kitchen, showers were hot with good water pressure, easy walk to supermarket, excellent bakery the Fairlie bakehouse and a great restaurant Carnegies
Lovely wee character house in a superb location in heart of Fairlie, very short walk to shops and cafes. Hosts made contact before stay and were very friendly and accommodating. Warm once both logburners were going and was a pleasant and unique stay.
What a wee hidden gem in Fairlie! A huge thanks to Murray & Jackie for let the hot tub runs for a few days to suitable for pregnancy temperature! I feel well deserved spoilt and been spent a lot time in tub! We will definitely be back!!
Being in a hotel was an opportunity to meet people which we did. Met a couple from England of about our own age which we had some laughs with and found out about some of the attractions where we were next going to.
Very comfortable motel, close to Lake Tekapo. The room was wel equiped with a cooker, microwave to eat in, but the associated Carnegies Restaurant is also awesome.
Great value to spend the night if you are driving through the South Island, old building that needs some work but everything is clean, basic breakfast provided.
